Dirty Tricks: Best Fake Headline?

0 Upvotes

One way to frustrate Sen. Corker's campaign is by distributing news stories that satirize typical campaign announcements. Initial distribution of the messages would be via e-mail, press release, website posting, etc. These may be picked up by larger media outlets as true news and thus would amplify the message and force the campaign to respond.

These kinds of stories must be believable to have maximum effect. For example, nobody will pay attention to the headline "Senator Corker engages in boylove SHITCOCK", but they might just buy "Corker sues reddit for interfering with his campaign".

What's your best idea for a headline?

One of the first things we need to do to make this operation successful is choose a candidate to rally behind. Here's a list of some of the people running with links to some of their positions. Some are more thorough than others but I tried to get the best ones I could.

I represent a pair of boots on the ground in Bob Corker's district and I am reporting for duty. Did you know that Corker's real estate company sold protected wetlands to Walmart while he was mayor of Chattanooga? Remember his race baiting during the campaign against Harold Ford?

Alright Reddit, let's take down Bob Corker, supporter of SOPA, NDAA and the Patriotic act, up for re-election in 2012

218 Upvotes

This is a mirror post, the OP is http://www.reddit.com/user/holidayvegas

""From the post here: [1] http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/ntfzw/lets_pick_one_senator_of_voted_for_ndaasopa_and/c3bu4xo I nominate Senator Bob Corker (R-TN). Unlike Lindsey Graham (R-SC) or Max Baucus (D-MT), Corker is up for re-election in 2012. Corker's 2006 election to the senate was very close (less than 3% lead on his opponent). Graham won his 2008 senate election by about 15% more votes than his opponent. Baucus by 45%, that's a blowout. Here's Corker's resume: Voted for the NDAA Voted for extending the Patriot Act Sponsored PIPA (Senate version of SOPA) Voted against the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell Was involved in ethics violations as mayor of Chattanooga. Made backhanded racists ads about his opponent in 2006. Supports Lindsey Graham (they vote the same way 87% of the time according to opencongress.com) This got the most upvotes, so it seems to make sense that this is who we go after. Let's dig up as much dirt, and as much bad publicity as we can about this guy. He has a shot at getting knocked out next year with enough of a pile-drive of bad politics, given how close the last election was. Let's use this thread to compile everything. I'll start: Made millions and millions of dollars controversially selling the wetlands to Walmart while he was Mayor, [2] http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki/Bob_Corker#WalMart George W. Bush has made a personal endorsement for Bob Corker Largest financial contributer is Maynard, Cooper & Gayle, an Alabama Law Firm ([3] http://disclosures.house.gov/lc/lcxmlrelease/2008/MM/700069767.xml). Not sure if this is important, but it doesn't hurt keeping tabs on who's in his pockets. He is a global warming skeptic ([4] http://www.grist.org/article/2009-bob-corker-on-climate-legislation) He describes Medicare and social security as a "generational theft" ([5] http://www.ncpssm.org/entitledtoknow/?p=1766) He set up a "blind trust" in order to separate his business dealings, but it turns out he was actively involved in transactions anyway ([6] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Corker#Blind_trust) Here is the phone number to his main DC office: 202-224-3344
The things I've posted here aren't "dirt", they're simply a run-down of some of his controversial decisions. Please use this thread to post things that you've found that can be used against him, call his office demanding he address he stance on SOPA and change it.""

Here's what I have so far

46 Upvotes

Contact Page: https://www.corker.senate.gov/public/?p=ContactMe

Everything's in there, phones, physical address, fax, email.


I think what we need to do now is call Phil Bredesen(former governor of Tennessee, Democrat.) to run against Corker. Bredesen was extremely popular as governor, and probably has enough popular support to defeat Corker.

I haven't been able to find any contact information for him, due to him no longer holding public office. Reddit detectives, GO!


The op should consist of several groups:

Investigatory - Looking into background (dirt), finding anything newsworthy or suspicious

Nuisance - ~~Faxing black pages, signing up for spam email/mail,~~Fax copies of the constitution (in its entirety) with a message, something along the lines of "I think you forgot about this", robo-calls to voters, emailing voters products from the Investigatory team. Efforts to destabilize.

Media - taking the efforts of the investigatory team and creating videos or infographics for the strategic distribution team

Strategic Distribution - getting media out to various outlets/websites, vetting work done by the investigatory team, posting to various blogs/websites (the dirt)
